Stop Waiting at Toll Plaza with Fastag!

About Fastag Card

A FASTag is a reloadable tag which is used to automatically deduct toll charges allowing a vehicle to pass through a toll gate without stopping for the payment. It uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to make cashless payments through a prepaid account linked to it.

The tag is fixed to the windscreen of a vehicle and an RFID antenna in the canopy of the toll gate scans the QR code and the tag identification number, following which the boom barrier lifts to allow a vehicle to pass through.
The Fastag is valid for a period of five years and it comes in seven different colours — violet, orange, yellow, pink, blue, green and black. Each category of vehicle is assigned with a particular color.

Overall impact of Fastag in Indian transportation

Getting stuck in long queues while crossing toll plazas on National Highways is perhaps something we have all experienced at some point. National Highways Authority of India or NHAI plans to make this a thing of past by launching FASTAG program in April, 2016. The ultimate plan is to offer non-stop movement of vehicles through toll plazas and cashless collection of toll fees at toll plazas. This implementation by the Indian government has been applauded by all, which is evident from the fact that automatic collections at toll plazas along national highways, has led to 24% increase in electronic toll revenue. The number of Fastag unites sold has also increased drastically from 3,113 fastag units sold in May 2016 to over 3 Million units until August 2018. Indian transportation as we know is the backbone of Indian economy, and with this move, this backbone will only strengthen.

General FAQ's

FASTag is a device that employs Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for making toll payments directly from the prepaid or savings account linked to it. It is affixed on the windscreen of your vehicle and enables you to drive through toll plazas, without stopping for cash transactions. The tag can be purchased from Tag issuers and if it is linked to the prepaid account, then you need to recharge/ top up the tag as per your requirement.

FASTag has unlimited validity. The same FASTag can be used till the tag is read by the reader and not tampered with. In case due to wear and tear the reading quality depreciates, please reach out to your Issuing Bank for a new tag.

FASTag is presently operational at 450+ toll plazas across National Highways. The system is inter-operable and the same FASTag can be used across all toll plazas under the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) program. More toll plazas will be brought under the NETC program in the future. You may see the list of plazas in the ‘Active Toll Plazas’ section. Please visit the www.ihmcl.com for more details.

Yes, you will have to use the lanes demarcated for FASTag users. Only the marked lanes have the required RFID infrastructure installed to read your FASTag. In case you enter a cash-only lane, the FASTag will not be read and cash will need to be paid.
